Candidate-reported interview process

I started with a phone chat with HR. Then, I had a video call with the hiring manager, and another manager was present and took notes. After that, I visited the office, met some team members, and spoke with other managers at the company.

The interview process was pretty simple. There were four interviews in total. First up was a phone screening with a recruiter (they were really nice!), then I spoke with my potential manager, and finally, I had two more interviews with onboarding managers from other departments.

The process was great. Marly, the recruiter, was with me the whole time, answering anything I needed. She was really helpful and made me feel comfortable. It was my first look at the company and it was a really good start.
